2004 Valentino Runway Beaded Bralette Draped Sheer Silk Cut-Out Gown

We are thrilled to offer this super rare and ultra seductive Valentino black beaded bralette silk bias-cut gown from his 2004 fall-winter runway collection. Valentino Garavani, the legendary Italian designer, built his legacy on timeless glamour, sensual elegance, and masterful craftsmanship. Revered for his ability to merge romance with confidence, Valentino defined generations of sophisticated women through his luxurious gowns and impeccable tailoring. His creations from this era reflect a daring new sensuality—graceful, yet unapologetically bold.

This gown, runway look 60, was worn by Italian model Mariacarla Boscono and styled with a lace mask that set the tone for the collection’s dark, seductive mood. The design features a slightly sheer, black silk that glides effortlessly over the figure. The gown reveals a daring open scooped bodice which showcases the dress's most prominent and sexy feature—an intricately beaded black lace bralette adorned with jet sequins and floral embroidery. Cleverly constructed, the bralette is anchored on the left side, wrapping across the bust and fastening in the back with two luxurious velvet ties that trail down the spine. The front is equally balanced out with a plunging open back, flowing into a graceful floor-length hem and subtle train that moves beautifully with every step. A masterclass in construction, this archival Valentino gown captures the designer’s signature blend of sensuality and sophistication.

Total Length: 60 inches
